New Zealand Qualifications Framework

The New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF) is the heart of New Zealand’s education system. It resembles its Australian counterpart. All qualifications – both secondary and tertiary – are listed on the ten levels of the NZQF as shown in the table. It provides an assurance of quality and recognition. When you study in New Zealand, you should be aware of the NZQF level of the qualification you will be awarded upon completion of the study program. You should also know whether the qualification is a university degree, diploma or certificate.For further information, please visit: http://www.nzqa.govt.nz
